Scarborough trip in September… On 17th September, around thirty members and guests travelled to Scarborough to learn more about the Rowntree family’s origins. We were joined in Scalby by local guide Lesley Newton who, along with Bridget Morris, gave us the background on Low Hall, Scalby, and its residents. We were also told the stories of the more prominent members of the family; Fred Rowntree was an architect and Lawrence Rowntree who despite being a Quaker joined the services and was killed in WW1. We were shown photos and slides of the original Rowntree shops in Scarborough which have all been demolished. We took a walk round Low Hall which is now a convalescent home for the NUM and had lunch in the village via the church and churchyard which holds some of the Rowntree graves. The next stop was Cober Hill another Rowntree building, dated 1920 to accommodate conference and educational courses. Set on a hill above the sea in Cloughton it has large landscaped gardens and is still run as a conference centre today. A short stop for afternoon tea brought the day to a close and we arrived back in the village about 5.30pm. It was a fascinating day; we learned so much about the origins of the Rowntree heritage and many thanks to Bridget Morris for organising the day. Anyone with an interest in the village and Rowntree history is welcome to attend the monthly meetings of the Local History Society and can contact the members of the committee listed below Sue Glenton [email protected] Katherine Himsworth [email protected] Tim Phillips [email protected] p14 Nature Reserve

p15 SpecSort 23 November

SpecSort - Donate your unwanted spectacles Saturday 23 November 10am-12pm in the Folk Hall Cafe

SpecSort is a ‘signature’ project of Rotary York Ainsty, whereby Rotarians collect unwanted spectacles from individuals and opticians across Yorkshire. We sort, wash and grade them, before taking them to Africa where they are given to needy recipients. We attended the Folk Hall recycling day in September which was very successful for us as people generously donated lots of unwanted spectacles. This time the event is more than just a collection, although any donations will be very welcome. You can drop-in to find out more about the work we are doing, meet some of the people involved and learn about the process of sorting and grading the donations. Project co-ordinator , Ruth Perrott’s latest visit to Senegal in January 2019 features in the ‘That’s York Television’ films on YouTube.

p19 New Earswick Parish Council

NEW EARSWICK PARISH COUNCIL Matters of interest from recent meetings Members are pleased to be able to notify residents that a new Councillor has been co-opted to one of the vacancies on the Council. Roy Love has been a resident of Hartrigg Oaks for five years and has served as a trustee of several organisations in the past. At the September meeting representatives from the Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust attended. They gave a progress report on the development of the new In Patient Facility that is being developed off Road, which is due to be operational in the Spring. A Planning Application for the development of an Indoor Tennis Facility for York St John University Sports Centre was submitted recently, also in the Haxby Road area. As winter approaches a reminder that there are four green grit bins located in the Parish. These are outside the shops, on Hawthorn Terrace and outside both of the schools. The bins are checked regularly, but if you think they need to be re-filled please contact us direct. Unfortunately there has again been damage to property in New Earswick. Early in August the bus shelter opposite Rowan Avenue was damaged by fire. It was difficult to find a contractor to come out at short notice to make repairs, but Members hope you will appreciate the work that has been carried out. As you will understand this all comes at a cost to the local community, in this case more than £400. Please notify the Police if you are aware of anti-social behaviour, they are working hard to try and improve the situation. Nicki Holmes has joined the Safer Neighbourhood Team based in New Earswick and along with the rest of the Team can be contacted by emailing - [email protected]. police.uk The next meeting will take place on Monday, 18 November. There is no meeting in December. Residents are welcome to attend meetings and we look forward to seeing you all in the New Year. Telephone: 07391 665639 - Email: [email protected] p20 Carol Service

By the time this issue reaches you we will have completed all our 2019 community walkabouts with skips provided following each route. We had a successful day out in August at Diggerland in Castleford with two coaches taking residents for our Summer trip and the Panto this year should have been a sell-out by now for December 27th (Snow White for the 6.30pm performance). If you missed the chance to buy tickets (residents of New Earswick only £10) then ring me on York 760982 and I can add you to a waiting list just in case there are any cancellations.

We have discussed more activities for 2020 in New Earswick but we require help in the organisation of these, anyone interested please contact a member of NERF or come along to any meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at 6.30pm.

One thing we would like to do is to organise a garden sale in the community where residents can have their own stall/s in their garden and we would produce a leaflet to advertise these properties on a given weekend so that the public can visit at their leisure all the stalls. More details later but if it sounds like you could be interested please let me know.

We have granted money to a variety of clubs and organisations in New Earswick this year and a full list will be available at the start of 2020.

A joyful season and Happy New Year from all at the Residents Forum

p40 Be your own boss, help your community, have fun, and earn some money

I'm running a free development programme in York to help people like you to set up and run your own enterprise to provide care and help at home to people in your neighbourhood.

It's so important that older and disabled people get the support they need to live the way they want to, with dignity - and with fun and laughter!

So, if that sounds important to you too and you are thinking about switching careers, changing gears, going back to work, or working while you study - this role could be perfect for you.

Contact me, Julie, today to chat about starting a journey to job satisfaction.

My help is free to you because this project is funded by York council. It is run by Community Catalysts.
